Its just a lens is OK if you have time to make it do what you want it
to.
While most marriages don't last long today, this one might. You don't
always have time to set up the equipment for each shot and being
familiar with every piece of your equipment is essential. You need to
know how it works without thinking about it. So for this once in a
lifetime event for the bride and groom, using a piece of equipment that
you might not be able to use instinctively could cause you to lose "the
picture". Like when the cake gets pushed into a face or when the
bouquet gets tossed and caught.
You have to know your equipment when doing these events. The best way
to know it is to use it. Use it long before the important event takes
place.
Just my opinion.
